• OpenSTAAD Axial Force Macro Problem

    Hi, I have created a macro to extract bending, shear, and axial forces from STAAD. The forces are correct, but I am having an issue with the "Location of Max Axial Force" outputs. Please see attached screenshots. The macro is reporting that the…

  • RAM Concept - Net Axial Forces not zero in RC Slab

    Hi, I have a template of a 40ftx20ft RC slab in Concept that I sometimes use to make quick studies or to verify my hand calculations. While looking at the net axial stresses I noticed that they are not equal to zero; in fact ,the axial forces are in…

  • Absolute Member Force Envelope

    In the Analysis -> Load Combinations mode when looking at the Member Force Envelope for axial force in vertical bracing, there is only an option to look at either the maxima or minima. I'm looking to print a frame elevation with the absolute worst combination…

  • RAM Elements Tilt-Up Wall Module Pu calculation

    Hi all, I am having a hard time understanding the results that the Tilt-up module gives me for Pu values. For a 40 ft high wall with a width of 20 ft and a thickness of 8 inches, I expect to get the self-weight contribution as: 40 ft x 20 ft x 8/12…

  • Torsion Force about X axis & Axial force in X axis

    Hi, After running the analysis i am not able to display de Torsion Force about X axis & Axial force in X axis envelope, as shown below: I checked and it's not a matter of graph scale, it just doesn't appear, while the rest of the envelope plots…

  • RAM Concept PT Axial Forces

    Hi, I'm looking for some clarity on PT axial forces at stressing ends and why each stressing end force is not equal in our model. For some context: Our structure is a 85' span post-tensioned concrete bridge curved in plan with a flat soffit and sloping…

  • RE: Total axial force in the physical member.

    You do NOT need to add the axial forces in each segment to get the total axial force in the physical member. Rather to get the axial force at any location within the physical member, consider the axial force in the corresponding analytical member at the…

  • RE: Why compression force in tension members and why tension force in compression members developed?

    Here is how the generated member forces can be explained. If you look at the axial forces in the inclined braces, these are developing significant axial tension ( specially I am referring to the extreme 3 on each side ). The amount of axial tension…
